I don't know what your personal financial situation is so I am throwing this out there as just an option. Will the breeder offer you another puppy and let you keep little Harley making it a win win situation? The condition is rare, and finding a vet that can actually perform the surgery sounds like a challenge in itself and you don't really know the long term prognosis. Harley would benefit from a littermate or another puppy. So, I am just saying, you are entitled to a healthy puppy regardless, and yet you can still give little Harley the best possible chance. Just an option not yet mentioned.
